Hi @Anonymous
You don't have to add this datasource to the gateway just go to DataSource -> Edit Credentials, key in your details, it should work straightaway for refreshing.

It says optional - you don't need to add this to the gateway unless you have specific reasons.
You are bringing up a couple of unrelated issues - take a step back and solve the issues one by one. Start with the gateway connection that you had set to skip the test - try without the skip.
